Lor Of Utah Territory, estimates the
population of the Territory at nearly
100000 and the assessed taxable Valua-

commercial affairs OF the territory are
said TO be in a prosperous condltlon, It's
agricultural products abundant ana OF

promising. The Governor recommends
the repeal of that part OF the alien lana
law which relates to mines. 10 the ols-
cussion of the subject OF
STATEHOOD FOR UTAH,
the Governor devotes considerable
space. In the course of his remarks ne
avs: 1T will be observed that the
movement for Statehood was inaugu-
rated by the leaders of the Mormon
people. Their representatives alone
took part in the deliberations of the
convention, and only that portion OF
the people of the Territory favored Its
support. When we remember how re-
Gently those people avowedly held and
maintained a position which placed
them in opposition with the Fedef,ti
laws. the holding of which. in the past
had brought them
INTO CONFLICT WITH THE PEOPLE
with whom they lived in Ohio, Mis-
souri, and Illinois, and in antagonism
With all corners to this Territory not
identified with them, we recall that the
go=N 10 hof UOnl6 have
cost them the political control which
they have held since the organization
Of the Territory; that securing of state
hood will place in their hands and take
from Congress the power that it has
been compelled to exercise to regulate
and control their actions in accordance
with the moral sense of the country and
Christian civilization. Before clothing
them with sovereignty,
SHOULD NOT CONGRESS WAIT
antiI the action is suited to the word,
until their laudable professions have
had time to ripen into prsiseworthy
works? Until the conduct of the people
and Legislature of the Territory, in
consonance with their professions, are
brought into harmony with the general
laws of the country and Territory and
placed in the advanced position it would
have attained but for the past attitude
Of those who are now asking the boon
of Statehood9 1t is more than probable
that the question of Utah as political

Six Quarts at q Draught.

Drinking is sea custom not yet dead
at least if it is dead, the fault il not
Jacks, says writer in the London
Telegraph. But, even though the eco
nomical principles of owners had suf.
fered perpetuation of the practice on
shipboard, I question whether the most
bibulous of the present race of sailors
could carry it to the height to which it
was formerly raised. l suppose the
very biggest drink on record is that re-
lated by Dampier. He relates that
there came on board his ship one Capt.
Rawlins, the commander of small
New England vessel, along with Mr..
John Hooker. They were asked into
the cabin to drink, and bowl was
made containing six quarts. "Mr.
Hooker being drunk to by Capt. Raw
Inns, who pledged Capt. Hudswell, and,
having the bowl in his hand, said that
he was under an oath to drink but three
draughts of strong liquor day, and
putting the bowl to his head turned it
off at one draught, and so making him
self drunk, disappointed US of our ex-
pectatiOns until we had made another
bowl"
Twelve pints to swallow. without a
sigh between! But then hard drinking
was the custom, not on the privateers
only, but of the whole seafaring race OF
early times. They were educated to it
by liberal doses of grog. The allow
ance sometimes rose to q pint OF rum
per man q day. In the French, Span
ish, and Portuguese ships, and very
often in the Dutch, sailors courage be-
fore an action was nearly invariably
helped by jacks of brandy, and the
doses were repeated while the fight
proceeded, bumper being handed be-
tween the guns. The men, frenzied by
drink, would mix gunpowder with the
spirits, supposing that, thus prepared,
there was no batter liquor for heroes.
I think it need not be doubted that
more actions were lost than gained by
this custom. How should drunken
gunner aim his piece? and what mis-
chief (save to one another) could mob
of inebriated small-arms men do In the
tops or along the quarterback? But
if privateersmen could be found able to
swallow six quarts at draught, they
had customs besides that of drinking
which must have tended to make them
desperately hardy-seasoned men. 1t
was their practice to keep their ships
clear, so that the deck was the only bed
they had to lie upon. No hammocks
were allowed, no chairs or tables; they
took their meals upon the deck and lay
upon it; preserving, in this direction,
the old tradition of the buccaneers,
who denied themselves eve.y imagina-
bic comfort and convenience that they
might never be mistaken for anything
else than the savage beasts they were.

Annie was : plain woman, almost
ugly, not clever nor cultured, nor rich
in worldly goods; but hosts of friends
gathered about her as she passed into
old age. and all hurt and ailing and
sorrowful folk who knew her came to
her for comfort and cheer.
She never failed them. She has
always courageous, tender word for
each person. Poverty came to her at
last, and painful and incurable dis
ease. She went through sickness and
privation, to meet death, with the same
high heart and happy temper that she
had in her younger and comparatively
more prosperous days The laugh was
always ready, and the jest never failed.
"How do you keep up your courage?"
friend asked her, on one occasion.
II am old enough to know in whom
1 have believed, she answered, gravely.
when I was young, and danger or
trouble came, prayed to Him for help,
and it came; but then, when another
danger came, i would forget that He
had answered me before, and doubt
and fear even while prayed; but now
I am old, Ihave q record in my memory
of these past struggles. I know that
He has never yet failed me, and He
never will"
All young people beginning the
Christian life are apt, in the stress of
. great sorrow or temptation, to doubt
if their Master really hears and will
answer them.
4Did ever trouble yet befall,
| And he refuse to hear thy calf"
asks Wesley. And David, again and
again, after his many griefs and crimes,
repeats, "When cried unto Thee,
Thou answered me. !"
But the boy or girl, in the sharp,
sore pain of youth, scarcely listens to
this far-off testimony. 1t is only when
God has answered their own prayers
that they, too, begin to know and trust
Him in whom they have believed.
! It is the.custom in certain churches
in Europe to hang about the altar the
torn and blood-stained flags won in
battles, in which the worshipers, by
Gods help, as they believe. have been
victorious.
So the Christian should keep in his
heart, always present, some record of
the struggles with pain or sin in which
he has trusted in God for help and has
been heard and answered. Youths

81 JOHN porLn o,nnn1sr,


There once was time when. As old songs prove
&c.
The earth was not round, but an endless
plain;
The sea was as wide as the heavens above it,
just millions of miles and begin again.
And that was the time-ay, and mors's the pity
It ever should end when the world could play,
When singers told tales of q crystal city
In wonderful country far awayl
But the schools must come, with their scales
and measures
To limit the visions and weigh the spells;
They scoffed at the dreamers with rainbow
treasures,
And oircled the world in their parallels;
Where minstrels might ride for year and q
day;
They sounded the depths and they pierced the
OF that wonderful country far away.
For knowledge rubble OF fact and doubt;
WiEg-broken and Gagged, like bird from the
tropics.
Romance at the wandering stars looked out.
Cold Reason they said is the early Eden
But fairer the flowers and fields forbidden
OF that wonderful country far away.
They questioned the Numbering baby's laugh
And cautioned its elders to dream by rule;
All mysteries past and to come hereafter
Were settled and solved in their common
school.
But sweeter the streams and the wild birds
singing,
The friSldship and love that were true always
The gladiess unseen, like far bell ringing,
In that wonderful country far away.
Nay, not in their Reason, our dear illusion,
But truer than truths that are measured and
weighed
o land of the spirit whore no intrusion
From bookmen doubters shall aye be made
There still breaks the murmuring sea to greet US
On shedowy vale and peaceful bay;
And souls that were truest still wait to meet us
In that wonderful country far awayi

|. Those who have merely read the
word atenderfoot, and laughed at its
application to newcomers and green
horns in the mountain region, says .
Denver correspondent, would laugh on
the other side of their mouths if they
experienced the fortunes of which this
word in its pathic meaning is only a
feeble exponent Everybody who
comes here from lower levels suffers IN
the feet in q manner that is next to un-
endurable. Tenderness expresses the
innocent condition of the foot unac-
sustomed to the roasting sands of the
Denver streets. This quality makes
the foot receptive of the crematory In
fiuences that are concealed in the sum
kissed soil, and when the owner of q
pair of unsophisticated pedals of this
kind takes them out for o walk, par
ticularly in the daytime, he will not go
farther than half-dozen blocks, or,
perhaps, half mile before he begins
to think and feel that lie is walking on
q bed of red-hot Goals. The soles OF
his feet will burn and his legs will
glow and throb as if they had just
been lifted out of furious furnace.
and he will want to peel off his boots
or shoes and dip his raging extremi-
ties into the cool-looking ditch water
that purls by. This horrible fear-be-
getting sensation is not escaped by any
body who comes to this elevation for
the first time. The affection lasts for
several weeks, but is worst in the first
few days. If the Colorado pioneers
ever suffered these fortunes they have
forgotten them. but all other persons
candidly confess that they were victims
of "tender-footedness" when they
landed in Denver, and they recall the
pain and anguish as something fright
full to endure. Malaria refined and
sublimated to it's acutest form is a
pastime compared with it. The only
cure for it is to grin and bear it. No.
there is anothero-an old woman's
remedy which somU people pretend to
have found eficacious, rubbing the
soles of the feet with sweet oil, but it
must not be relied on, and is not
vouched for by the correspondent ]
have met several st. Louisians here,
one or two of whom have made up
their minds to stay in Denver, who
have told me they could not remain
upon their feet for ten minutes at a
time without experiencing the widest
sort Of pangs in their extremities.
They tried the sweet-oil remedy, too,
but it didn't work. Their suggestion
to newcomers is to let the sensation
wear off, which it is sure to do in time.
You will see from this that the ex-
preston "tenderfoot" has in it some
thing more than the mere 'mockery or
derision which old-timers apply to the
new arrivals in this country. It has q
miserable, pangful meaning that re-
veals itself with singular force to the
stranger, and that while it lasts robs
lavish nature of it's joyous beauties
and causes the tender-hoofed tourist to
anathematize the gorgeous Sierra
Madre instead of rhapsodizing and
poetizing on the marvellous panorama
that lights the eye from this charming
vantage spot.

The Whistler.

Do you know why this duck is called
the Whistler?
It flies so fast that it makes it's wings
fairly whistle through the air!
The gunner, waiting in ambush, can
tell of it's approach by the shrill sound,
and can get ready and take his position
before it comes within gunshot.
This bird has many other names be-
sides the Whistler,
Golden Eye, Great Head, and Spirit
Duck are some of them.
The Indians gave it the last name,
because it allows the hunter to come
very near it, and then before he can
twang his bow, the duck has vanished
below the water.
This frightens the superstitious In
dian. He thinks that such rapidity Of
motion can only be due to magic, and
shudders at the thought that he has
tried to shoot spirit.
This bird has another strange habit.
It builds it's nest in the top of tall
dead tree, so old and worn that the
bark and branches have fa1len.off, leav-
ing only a slippery pole.
Nobody knows how the tender young
duckliRgs get from the nest to the
water.
Legend says that the mother bird
carries her babies herself, holding them
by the bill, and supporting them by her
strong neck until she places them safely
in the water. No wonder that the ig-
norant Indians think her an enchanted
spirit.
When these birds are alarmed, they
make strange note, which sounds like
the constantly recurring good note of
an old worn-out hurdy-gurdy; such a
one as is played by old women at street
corners, and is so weak with long use
that only the one good note can be
heard at any distance.
The Whistler feeds on all sorts of
marine insects and small shell-fsh, and
in some regions is SO dainty as to pre-
fer salmon spawn above all other food.

the ring, bows, catches strap with ner
teeth, and is hauled to the top of the
tent, where she finds rest on q single
swinging trapeze bar, has no sinecure.
Every motion is the result of years of
labor and hard practice. A reporter
interviewed one of these queens of the
air and found that her sawdust title
was not gained without courage and
patience. She said:
"The art of balancing on swinging
trapeze is more difficult than active
gymnastics. I began to accustom my
self to the circus ring at 6 years of
age. At Z I could turn band-springs.
My mother was a slack-wire walker,
and her ambition was to have me follow
in her footsteps, so to speak. Some
how had an antipathy to the slack
wire, but gradually I was taught to
balance on it. At the age of 10
could do little walking on the wire,
but I always kept the wire swinging to
and fro. In few years more could
do anything on the slack-wire, and
grew ambitious to perform other feats.
I was between II and 10 years old
when I first assembled to high trapeze
bar. A network was spread under to
catch me if I fell The more looked
below the more certain became that I
could never get used to the high ira
peze. My instructor shouted up to me
not to look down at all, but to keep my
eyes fastened on the ropes that sup
ported the trapeze bar. I should have
known that before, because in bal
ancing on the slack-wire I always kept
my eyes fixed on level in front of me.
I obeyed orders and began to try what
is known as the simple balance position.
I slipped and whirled through the air
to the netting below. wanted to give
it up then. All my ambition seemed
to ooze out of me. But was made to
go right up again and try it over. That
angered me and I became reckless.
succeeded admirably, and found that
by keeping the bar in motion could
balance myself much better. 1 fell
several times, but received no injuries
on account of the netting below. Day
after day would go up and work four
or five hours steadily.
after six months / was permitted to
perform for the public. I did not do
so many positions, as we call them, as
I did afterward, but I felt that should
be SUCCESS. I gained some applause
for doing one of the easiest feats on the
balancing trapeze, so I concluded the
easiest and most picturesque positions
could assume would please the public
more than difficult feats. This idea
was the means of my attaining great
success and unexpected skill. I did
only the most graceful and easy posi-
tions. In several years I was at home
on the bar and gave up slack-wire
walking altogether. Did I ever fall?
Yes, but fortunately that night I had
the net work to catch me. How did I
fall? I was engaged to be married to
an acrobat and rider, and in foolish
turned my eyes down to the
ring to see him, and, losing my ball
ance, before I could grasp the rope I
off very ungracefully and fell
in heap on the network below. am
